The more you work on it, the bigger your repertoire of skills will be.

In today's fast-paced world of change, the traditional paradigm of 'leader do all' may no longer be effective.

Specifically you will learn:
The ability to frame leadership with an entrepreneurial mindset
Behaviors to enact as an entrepreneurial leader
Key ways to motivate, mobilize, and enlist others as a creator of positive results
